Usage

The usage of this build is incredibly simple. Camp Flamethrower and use your gyros to generate Superspeed. If using non-scrapper variants, generally cast their skills off-cooldown.

 ==Overview==
-Flamethrower Engineer is an incredible simple, reliable, farming build that can be played in a myriad of different ways and includes variants for every possible Engineer specialization. Scrapper is the default recommendation due to its very high uptime on {{Tooltip|Superspeed}}, however core engineer, mechanist, and holosmith can all be viable options for this build.
+A simple {{Tooltip|Scrapper}} farm build that is very comfortable to use for tagging events in open world.
-This is a farm build and does not feature high DPS. Instead it focuses on smooth, comfortable gameplay. If you are looking for a Scrapper build with high DPS, instead try [[Build:Scrapper_-_Power_Scrapper]] or [[Build:Holosmith_-_Sword_Holo]]

-===Variants===
-Always keep {{Skill|Flamethrower}}. If using Scrapper, Gyros are essential to providing {{Tooltip|Superspeed}} and it is not recommended to replace them.
-===Mechanist===
-* Use {{Skill|Rectifier Signet}}, {{Skill|Barrier Signet}}, {{Skill|Shift Signet}}, and {{Skill|Overclock Signet}}.
-* Use Rifle, Pistol/Pistol, or Pistol/Shield.
-===Holosmith===
-* For Defense, use {{Skill|Elixir H}}, {{Skill|Rocket Boots}}, {{Skill|Spectrum Shield}}, and {{Skill|Prime Light Beam}}
-* For Condi DPS, use {{Skill|Elixir H}}, {{Skill|Grenade Kit}}, {{Skill|Bomb Kit}}, and {{Skill|Prime Light Beam}}
-===Core Engineer===
-* Use {{Skill|Elixir H}}, {{Skill|Elixir U}}, {{Skill|Elixir B}}, and {{Skill|Elite Mortar Kit}}.
-====Generic Options====
-These replacements are not unique and can be used regardless of specialization.
-* {{Skill|Rocket Boots}} - fun mobility tool
-* {{Skill|Utility Goggles}} - fantastic stunbreak and defensive tool
-* Many of the Elixirs are very potent, explore some you like!
 ==Specializations==
-===Build Keystones===
+{{Specialization|Firearms|mid|top|top}}
-The core of all of these builds features Tools and Firearms. Firearms is absolutely essential to this build due to {{Trait|Juggernaut}}'s synergy with {{Skill|Flamethrower}}. Tools provides us with addition tagging and dodges through {{Trait|Static Discharge}} and {{Trait|Adrenal Implant}}. {{Trait|Streamlined Kits}} can be taken for additional {{Tooltip|Swiftness}} uptime, which synergizes with {{Rune|Superior Rune of Speed}}, or {{Trait|Takedown Round}} can provide us with a small boost to DPS.
-Realistically, Tools can be replaced by virtually any other Engineer Specialization. Feel free to explore other options. If you do drop tools, you will lose access to {{Trait|Streamlined Kits}}, so be sure to keep {{Sigil|Superior Sigil of Speed}} on your gear.
 {{Specialization|Tools|top|top|mid}}
-{{Specialization|Firearms|mid|top|top}}
-===Scrapper===
-Scrapper is the best default spec here as it provides us with significant {{Tooltip|Superspeed}} uptime, which can be fantastic in a zerg farm. It's also got good passive defense through its barrier generation and, most importantly, provides us with permanent {{Tooltip|Stability}} via {{Trait|Applied Force}}.
 {{Specialization|Scrapper|top|top|bot}}
-* {{Trait|Kinetic Accelerators}} can be taken for permanent {{Tooltip|Quickness}} uptime on yourself and nearby allies. This sacrifices our permanent {{Tooltip|Stability}} but can feel very good to use.
-* {{Trait|Adaptive Armor}} can provide significant damage reduction at the cost of {{Tooltip|Stability}}.
-===Mechanist===
-;Build Code: [&DQMmFhUlRjsNGwAACxsAABAbAACTAQAACRsAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA=]
-Mechanist is another very strong choice, as the Jade Mech can be a powerful ally in open world. Mechanist lacks the superspeed of scrapper but gains a strong companion that can tank enemies in open world.
-{{Specialization|Mechanist|bot|mid|bot|variant=y}}
-===Holosmith===
-;Build Code (Defensive): [&DQMmFhUlOT8UAQAAjQEAAC8WAACTAQAA8BUAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA=]
-;Build Code (Condi DPS): [&DQMGKiYZOT8UAQAABwEAAIYAAACTAQAA8BUAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA=]
-Holosmith is notably less effective than the other options, but when combined with high DPS condi gear such as {{Tooltip|Viper}} and played correctly (See [[Build:Holosmith_-_Condi_Holo]] it can output incredible DPS to bosses while maintaining a comfortable, laid back playstyle when mobile in the zerg.
-{{Specialization|Holosmith|bot|bot|bot|variant=y}}
-===Core Engi (Alchemy)===
-;Build Code: [&DQMmFh0eFSUUAQAAXwEAAAEBAACTAQAAmAEAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA=]
-Core Engineer can fulfill the same playstyle as its elite specs, but instead uses Engineer's powerful Gadgets and Elixirs combined with the Alchemy traitline for an easy, defensive build.
-{{Specialization|Alchemy|mid|bot|top|variant=y}}
 ==Equipment==
-Ascended stats are not required, exotic gear is perfectly fine.

-* The stats used here are not particularly important, and other stats such as {{Tooltip|Berserker stats}}, {{Tooltip|Viper}}, {{Tooltip|Marauder}}, {{Tooltip|Diviner}} can be used. If looking for a very cheap option, use {{Tooltip|Berserker stats}} named gear from the TP. What's important is that the set provides both Crit Chance and Power.

-* Other sigils can replace Speed if you proc {{Trait|Streamlined Kits}} off cooldown, such as {{Sigil|Superior Sigil of Luck}} or {{Sigil|Superior Sigil of Stamina}}.
-===DPS Equipment===
-If you are looking for a build that sacrifices some comfort for dealing proper damage while still retaining access to {{Skill|Flamethrower}}, see [[Build:Holosmith_-_Condi_Holo]], [[Build:Scrapper_-_Power_Scrapper]], or [[Build:Mechanist_-_Condition_Mechanist]].
 ==Consumables==
-* Any ascended food is superior to any other food you could use. Steak for power, flatbread for conditions. Budget versions of these foods exist and are acceptable.
+===Farming===
-* {{food|Peppermint Omnomberry Bar}} - farming'
+* Prioritize Ascended food.
-* {{Utility|Sharpening Skull}} (and variants) - farming
+* {{Item|Birthday Blaster}} / {{Item|Feast of Delectable Birthday Cake}}
+* {{Food|Peppermint Omnomberry Bar}}
-Other options, such as [https://wiki.guildwars2.com/wiki/Feast_of_Delectable_Birthday_Cake Birthday Cake], [https://wiki.guildwars2.com/wiki/Homemade_Campfire_Treat Campfire Treats], [https://wiki.guildwars2.com/wiki/Spicy_Pumpkin_Cookie Spicy Pumpkin Cookie], or other similar food is fine to use. The general goal is to prioritize the following:
+* {{Utility|Sharpening Skull}} (and variants)
-# Flat % Experience, like we see on Ascended Food
-# % Karma Gain
-# % Magic Find
-# Experience from kills
-# % Gold find
-This assumes you are converting Karma and Spirit Shards to gold correctly. If you are not converting Karma or Spirit Shards, prioritize Magic Find.
 ==Usage==
 The usage of this build is incredibly simple. Camp {{Skill|Flamethrower}} and use your gyros to generate {{Tooltip|Superspeed}}. If using non-scrapper variants, generally cast their skills off-cooldown.
